Discussing his seasonal service job Lehmann notes that his major accomplishment was making ‘the clty look beautifel, He found the work chalienging in the heat of summer, although the best asaect of the work was how easy icwas. His elf-esciived talem was cescrived a Follows: “1 can lead my co-workers efficiently,” snd he belleves that his supervisor wauid give him an At Far his evaluation, Discussing his dasire to work in low enforcement and whet he will Coif Independence doesn’t Hira hin, Lochmann emphasized his family roots: Law enforcement.has becn a tradttion ln my family for now four generations.

Sometimes | may deirk 3times 8 weak, and other ‘times | may not drink at all during the week. My overall attinude towards drinking Is some people are mature enough to handle drinking alcoho, and some people ave rect. believe | dink because of the craft, design, and history of bres making. dave an interest bp earning how beer Ismade, and where It comes from.” He soid that he keeps himself sober when he drinks and noted that he drinks beer, wine, and Vodka ~ “Nothing snetife, | just dont get dhunk.* Ha did not explain the “eraft, design, and history,” of wine or Yedks, cr where it comes trot as reasons for drinking this form of spirits. He has never used an llega! drag and voiced 2 strong negetive reaction to the topic, “! have seen ipecple ruln their lives by using drugs. | abolutely hate drugs. | belleve when | am an the Force, | will have a zero tolerance for drug offenders.” When asked to elaborate his dislike of drugs, Loehmann spid he would give |ertures to drug users, and then he covrected himself and said he wold follow de partruent procedures, Ho wrote that he isan “easy golng porson. | never fast my tamper and rarely get upset. cant only think of one thing that would upset me; when secpla lie ta me, (lo not let things get to re orbother me becase 1 know itwill ret accomplish anything. leannot thirk of the last time | fost my tamper.” Asked about his reaction tc people when they fle Loehmann said he was talking about peoale who are clase to him, nct when he would be dealing with offenders, He agreed that offenders are going to fie, and again reltarated his itention te remain within dlopartmental guidelines when dealing with this type of lar. He denied ever having been ina physical fight and wrote, “Nathing good gets accomplished by fighting.” He admitted that ha has had! “sports tussles.” fle said that he has no nustial interests that would affect his ob performance.

In some ares of the world, war and poverty are plague. ter sreas experience wealth and progpesity.” impressions from the Interview/Questlonnaire: Loshmann made a good physical impression. From a verbal and stylistic point of view he appeared particularly stiff and quite nate, There was a sense that he lacks much street sense anti that his background ard experience has not been very atfficult of taxing, This ld to a sence that he hat many pre-formed statements about Iie thet are rest tented In much hands-on experience. Also there was a sense of lack of canooon13 irociness in his style of answering the questions, The oversll Impression wes that at some point in Nis isw anforrament camer he is going to need to becerne more dows-to-carth, and direct in hls socia| engagement etyle. Despite coming from a strongly commtied jaw enforcement family be didn’t appear to have much af an understanding of what the wark entails. (On another lovel Lnehnann was frendly but not engaging, He seems Fairy rigid and peihaps hes some cogroatic attitudes that could ba probiemac‘c in palloe work, athough he asserted ‘hat he will follow department procedures when carrying aitt his cuties, His suocess aé a police offlear for Independence will depend on hls allity to shift his kellafs tc be more inline with the department culture. Fortunately, he will have time in the academy to heccene mare aware of ‘the real work that police officers perform. Right now his view is abstract and not well grounded, Based on‘the observations during the Interview and from his written responses the following, areas of concern arc identified. His emphasizad that these are areas needing Improvement In my view, and are not cause for rejecting Lehmann for the position: 1. He may be a perfectionist and aothave 2 quick manner of msponding because he Is overly delibarste, and may think toe much (This was also found on the testing and ull be ntentioned later in the report). 2. Re seems passive and driven by outside forces. This indicates a lack of Idenetty development ~ a crucial ingrediect in performing effectively a> = cop. 3. He has a tendency t0 be overly judgmental of athers, for exemple his attitude toward drug users io quite strong and rigid, 4, tlistimo at the academy will be cructal te his development a5 a police officer: He needs to became quicker in reading sttustions, and ths will be an Important task for the FTO’s once he gets on board, Test Findings ecause of hie swness in responding to the Wonderlie questions he didn’t finish manyof he problems, Thus his store on this test reveals low average verbal reasoning and problem solving ability. When compared to the general American worker his score is at the 27" percentile, ‘igniflcantly below the average Ievel of Noriheast Ohio police applicants, who place at the national level of the 67 percentile. Checking his academic accomplishments he Is probably much brighter than the Wonderllc suggests, but if he Is slow to respond to problems this would mace his functional intelligence lawer. Again the need to wark faster and smarter needs to be emphasized. On the positive skic is his supetrior performance on the Cosner-Pamley Police Writing Agttude Test (WAT). This fs an untlimed test and reveais Loetarani’s potential If he were to speed up his mental process. He fs exaected to learn welte good police reparts and has a high ceiling for this activity. However, as with the Wonderlc he took an inordinately long time to complete the test. If he takes this long to write reports 4s a police offiear he will have trouble keeping upon. his paperwork. Tha general impression is that Leehmann hat panty of ability, but he needs too. snuch time te shaw ft GEMoocat4 ‘The answer to zome af the question of sknwness cam be found inh's persona’lty sralt prefile as revealed by tha NEO.>) personality trait test. Lehman's mast salient parsonality trait is his extreme conseientiousnass, Its ata level that Indicates a perfectionistlc aersonellty, # person who is compulsive and trles ta he perfect in mast of his activity, Atan extreme level he wauld smexph into.a compulsive lu he is nok thar far aiong at this thne. His canscientiousness indicates that Ne is ¢ person who lives a wellordered Ife, nweeis his goals ina very deliberate and planful manner, and canbe relied on to carry through on his assignments, But hs finishing of theve ossignments will probably take a fong time and this ic where his trainers will need to {get on him to speed up, He may have to fearn that perfection is a worttaxhile goal but improvement in speed Is as importer for most tasks. He is mat neuratic and hes little shaiety, although this couid increase as he descends Into the practical world. Al this Lime he presents as a person with consiilerable self-esteem, facks moodiness, and is welkadjesied to his current life. Ashe changes there is Hkely to be an Ingrease in-anxicty and some lowering of self-esteem which will not be a bad thing, but a sign of ‘growth. On the traits of autroversion [soctabilty}, openness, and agreeableness, Loehmann Is ‘within the average range, which is positive for his ability to move and develop ka a more positive and realistic direction, (One thing that can be counted on is that he has strong setl-contral and wil rarely allow his impuloas t0 dominate his befiavior. This also contributes a serie that he lacks spontanety ‘and may miss out onthe 4un of policing. Strang group pressure will help bend him ingo @ bttle ‘more flesibifity. Right now he runs the risk of ovarconfidanee, and may have a tendency to ‘overestimate his own ablities. His supervisor should monitor his performance and provide feedback frequently so that he doast’t get into the habe of thinking he has tt all down and heeds no more training, He wl have to learn to speed up his processes as others who work with him will see him 8 needlessly slow and perhaps.even being an obstructionist. He will need coaching on the value af moving more quickly and this Isa mejor task for his Feld teining, (On the Nyess-Sriggs Leehmann’s Supervisor wark personally type is tha one that is mast commonly found among high performing police officers and adminletrators from Northeast Ghio, The summary of this work type is as follows: EST}: SUPERVISOR This 9 nstura In businens and applied mechanles.
